What will it take to generate a critical mass of climate leaders in the Northeast bioregion who will do everything in their power to protect life for the future generations? We believe that change flows through relationships, at the speed of trust. Therefore, our mission at Alliance for a Viable Future is to facilitate climate leadership circles that build trust and inspire courageous, wise and intelligent action. On this podcast, we interview change-makers who are blazing new trails with paradigm-shifting solutions that restore justice to our organizations and communities. Together, we are making the impossible possible.

    57. Climate Leadership: How We Can Create a Viable Future

    Do you feel an urgency to step up and face the climate crisis? At no other time in human history has our human species needed to wake up to the harrowing fact that our planet’s natural systems may not be able to support human life— within the coming generation—by 2050. Climate Leadership is a pathway forward that integrates personal & professional development work, for emerging and established leaders who feel compelled to face the reality and take a stand for the future of all life on our planet.

    56. Be Prepared: Homesteading Skills, Storing Supplies, Homescale Gardening & More - Jon Lee Rucker

    “It’s better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it,'' says Jon Lee Rucker, founder of Wild Beauty Farm (wildbeautyfarm.com), PermaJam (permajam.com), and a dear friend of mine. This empowering conversation will bring awareness to the uneasy feeling about the instability all around us - conflict in the Ukraine, market and supply chain issues, and the environmental turbulence. We discuss our personal experience of how taking action generates a sense of confidence and courage. By facing it, you can turn the anxiety into positive action, instead of ignoring it. It’s better to face the harsh reality sooner than later. By being prepared, and taking action, step by step, the harsh reality becomes less harsh.

    55. Climate Resilience: The Secret of Healing Trauma in an Era of Crisis - Dr. Stephanie Mines

    It is clear that the climate crisis is not going to go away. How can individuals and families best prepare themselves to meet the health challenges that are inevitable? One of the keys is that “we need to harness the power of focus,” says Dr. Stephanie Mines, the author of five books that reflect over three decades of research as a neuroscientist. She has investigated shock and trauma as a survivor, a professional, a clinical researcher, and healthcare provider. Her nonprofit The TARA Approach is instrumental in the systemic change she promotes as a Sustainable Health paradigm. Dr. Mines also developed Climate Change & Consciousness, which serves an international and intergenerational community of visionary activists, to facilitate inner transformation for grounded climate action.
